### Ingredients

 * 1 cup Water
 * 0.25 cup Brown sugar
 * 1 gram Yeast
 * 1 -2 litre empty plastic Bottle
 * 1 black Garbage bag

[[

### Directions

 * First off you need to cut the plastic bottle in half. Mix the brown sugar in 
   a bowl with the hot water and set aside and allow to cool.
 * When cold pour into the sugar mixture into the bottom half of the bottle.
 * Add the yeast. There is no need to mix it as it reacts and creates carbon dioxide
   which attracts the mosquitoes.
 * Place the top of the bottle upside down into the bottom half and tape them together
   to stop them moving.
 * Then wrap the sides of the bottle in a black garbage bag and taped into place.
   Make sure you leave the top uncovered.
 * Place it in an animal and child free safe place. The mosquitoes will be attracted
   to the colour black and the yeast.
